Though I want Trump to win again-----
One that can turn up a crowd like Trump can. As much as I dislike Obama, I can admit he was a good crowd pleaser/speaker. He offered that hope and change! Maybe someone with similar attributes to Beta, though Beto has never even been a senator and failed his senate race with Cruz. I think it will take some effort to defeat Trump. Not just anyone will be able to do it. --- Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' ... Copied to Clipboard!

Historically, being from the South gives an advantage to Democrats. I don't think Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton would have been elected if they weren't from the South. So, I took the red state option.

So, I took the red state option. that hasn't been true since the time before you were even born. and a major tipping point for Clinton's victory was because of his inhumane stance on crime and punishment. literally a three strikes system. --- Never let those intent on misunderstanding you be the narrator to YOUR story!

preferably someone who has not been demonized by 30 years of republican propaganda
it's just a little too easy for them to attack a candidate like clinton when people already believe a ton of nonsense beyond that idgaf. if we turn out 5 more voters than the GOP do in PA, OH, FL, etc we win. the presidential election isnt about good candidates it is about exploiting the electoral college and not diluting your campaign to help down-ticket candidates --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

Hot Take: Not a woman. Country's just not ready for it. It's basically impossible to find a woman in the Democratic party who won't be painted as a shrill domineering harpy in the general election. The media landscape lends itself to pushing that sort of narrative regardless of the validity of it.

Beto tbh he's prob the best politician we've seen in the last decade so, i agree CW_McGraw posted... Hot Take: Not a woman. Country's just not ready for it. It's basically impossible to find a woman in the Democratic party who won't be painted as a shrill domineering harpy in the general election. The media landscape lends itself to pushing that sort of narrative regardless of the validity of it. imo, it's less this and more the perception that the dem primary base/party establishment is playing favorites a woman who had broad support from men in the primaries would do great. given the nature of GOP identity politics and how much better they are at it, a woman who is not running on her candidacy being 'historic' would also assist. that was seen as deeply toxic for clinton and she distanced herself from it, but far too late. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

Not really possible. The only real scenario is "gerrymandered in a way I like". um, no. gerrymandering is a spectrum, and the least gerrymandered result would be "% of house reps/state legislature elected equivalent to % of votes for that party, +/- 5%." that said it is super fucked that state legislatures can draw the districts THEY are elected to. it's bad enough that they do it for federal house representatives but it's a million times worse that they also do it for themselves. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...
